Re: Bad Company 2 Patch Released for the Client and Server

with the improved hitbox/hitreg, softcore isn't too bad now. i used to mostly play HC before, but now i can enjoy softcore.

Re: Bad Company 2 Patch Released for the Client and Server

Over all I'm pretty disappointed with the patch, crouch toggle and zoom toggle for weapons - fine whatever. This chatbox crap though, who asked for that? Even if it didn't have a bunch of bugs in the way it's displayed (ghosted blue box over the left side of the screen and having it flash to full size for like one frame when someone chats), it was fine the way it was before. This isn't Battlefield IRC.

They screwed up the movement (crouching is goofed) and their so called "hit box/hit registry" fix screwed up the feel of the game making normal mode feel like hard core.

It's pretty typical of DICE though, fix or add a few features and then go and break a dozen more. Their "outsourced" Q&A sucks big time, I can only imagine how glaring of a problem that must have been uncovered for DICE to have held back the patch for so long.

I'm guessing they won't be patching the game anymore either, at least not till that BF Vietnam add-on comes around.

I want joystick support as it was in BF2. Patched the game and had to redo all of my controls (that's no biggy). Climed in a chopper and yawn is in reverse. booo
